Lincoln were without ex-Peterborough man Michael Bostwick, Posh’s player of the year last season and Harry Anderson currently on loan from Peterborough. The game may have suited Bostwick’s style so it was a relief not to see him on the team sheet I felt.

Danny Wright

Danny Wright got the crucial goal and he finished with a cool side foot finish into the corner of the net after some neat footwork just inside the 18 yard box.

HE was paired up front with Brian Graham and the tactic of the two big men up front with Mo Eisa and Kevin Dawson on either wing paid off.

Lincoln had done their homework and expected Cheltenham to try and pass through the thirds after watching us in recent weeks so credit to Gary Johnson for tweaking the style a little and getting one up on his younger counterpart Danny Cowley.

Special mentions for the back four of Taylor Moore, Jamie Grimes, Will Boyle and Jordan Cranston along with Scott Flinders who was magic on the day and totally deserved his sponsors' man of the match and his place in the national papers' team of the day alongside Grimes for a few great saves and one which was top class.

Two pieces of football related news saddened me over the weekend, to hear that my old team mate Grant McCann’s wife Kelly and her sons were victims of abuse from so called disgruntled travelling Peterborough United fans at Scunthorpe on Saturday.

It sickens me to know that mindless idiots think they can treat players' and managers' families in that way and I’m pleased to hear Peterborough owner Darragh MacAnthony has moved quickly to weed out the guilty parties and will ban them for life.

The other sickening news was that former Cheltenham Town academy sports therapist Ali Bulpitt who I know from my involvement with Winchcombe Town was also subjected to abuse at Evesham United’s match at Salisbury this weekend.

Ali has worked hard to get qualified and is very conscientious and good at her job.

I hope both cases are sorted out quickly and would like to send The McCanns and Ali my personal best wishes and also that of everyone involved at Cheltenham Town.
